UNC faces a lawsuit alleging discriminatory admissions based on race

The lawsuit states that UNC is “engaging in intentional discrimination on the basis of race and ethnicity," and accuses the university favors Black and Hispanic applicants over qualified Asian and White applicants.

The lawsuit said that “UNC-Chapel Hill, like all other colleges and universities, labels every applicant by race.”

“Rather, UNC-Chapel Hill’s racial preference for each underrepresented minority student (which equates to a penalty imposed upon white and Asian-American applicants) is so large that race becomes the ‘defining feature of his or her application.’ Only using race or ethnicity as a dominant factor in admissions decisions could, for example, account for the disparate treatment of high-achieving Asian-American and white applicants and underrepresented minority applicants with inferior academic credentials,” it stated.
